I have a FI8910W, I did the Email and Alarm config on the cam WebUI first. I had previously installed VistaCam and Foscam HD and Foscam IP camera Plugin. I removed them all and just reinstall the #1978 app, but like other, my Dropdown doesn't list Foscam...

Great writeup was trying so hard to get it work.I got all the part and get okay from url also motion triggers but i don't get a picture on my mail.Tested the mail on camera gui and its working. Any idea. I am trying to hook wireless bell with door sensor. When someone press doorbell the camera motion sensor should activate and send me pic in mail from foscam camera.I am using foscam fi8918w.

Thanks for the suggestion. The camera is working, however, I wasn't able to add the motion sensor following the instruction posted on post #1. Those instructions worked for all the other foscam cameras except this one, and I assume it is because it uses the Foscam HD implementation file.

Any thoughts on how to add the motion sensor for this camera (email and motion sensor are already enabled in the camera's UI).

You have brought me out of lurking with this amazing post!!! Thanks a million to the OP!! When I combined your post with the steps found here==>>http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=11027.435jeep<<== I was finally able to get the motion sensor on my camera! Maybe I shouldn't be so excited since I haven't actually tested it in a scene yet but whatever you get bonus points for sharing a tip that actually works when one reads the fine print very very closely. Lol. Thanks again! I feel like a kid in a candy store again!

Thanks OP! So using this guide after upgrading to UI7 I was finally able to create two working instances of the motion sensors for my two Foscam cameras.

One question: anyone know what the "IgnoreTripTime" variable does? Is that saying after the motion sensor is tripped ignore a consecutive trip for x seconds??

What's everyone using variable-wise for Ontime, IgnoreTripTime and their level of camera sensitivity? I'm playing around with the 3 variables to try to find the optimum setting for being sensitive enough to record actual motion vs being too sensitive where the cameras record shadows on the walls..etc.

I have two foscams setup and working using this method, thanks!But I can not get the night vision motion detection to show in the Vera motion plugin and only seems to work when the room is lit. (night vision alerts work fine with the foscam software). Any idea what setting I should check or change to enable night vision motion detection in the Vera motion plugin app?

hi, thanks for a great guide and the functionality seems amazing. However, like others, despite removing the Vistacam PT and installing the Foscam plugin 1978 i will get blocked. Upon "Please select the camera type", the "Foscam" is not available. I am using Vera 7. was anybody else able to configure the Foscam under UI7?
